3 3 B. Attendance According to the Student Handbook, attendance at all class sessions is expected, unless the professor has been notified in advance and has approved the absence. Students should be on time and should stay through the duration of all classes. Any student missing more than six class hours (2 weeks) will be required to do additional work, receive a lower grade, audit or withdraw from the class, or be penalized otherwise at the discretion of the professor. If you miss more than 6 hours of course time (whether in-class or on-line) you will forfeit the percentage of the grade earned for course participation (except in extenuating circumstances that you have discussed with the professor). Additional absences may result in a request to withdraw from the course. A Note About Classroom Etiquette: The ability and willingness to be fully present is an important habit and disposition in ministry where we need to be fully present to God, parishioners, clients, counselees, friends, family members, tasks, etc. Please see our course as an opportunity to practice being fully present to God and to each other by minimizing distractions and focusing on the tasks at hand. Please bring all of your materials to class. Please turn off cell phones and other devices that connect you with the outside world while in class. And please resist the temptation to log in, check , surf the web, and stay online on your computers unless asked to do so for our conversations in class. As my eyes go to and fro throughout the class, I reserve the right to ask you to disconnect if it seems that technology has a distracting, distancing or disruptive effect on you and on others. C. Assignments/Assessment of Student Learning 1. Preparing for weekend sessions: Since this is an intensive course on Fridays and Saturdays, you will need to read the assigned material before class so that you can fully and wisely participate in the discussions. Please follow the syllabus carefully. Please complete the attached form at the end of the syllabus and bring a hard copy to each Friday session. The report will be evaluated according to the following criteria: Completion of all elements - + Completion of most of the readings (under 80%), adequate summary, questions posed, and some self-reflection - Little or poor demonstration of the readings (under 50%) and inadequate summary - - Failure to submit a reading report (note: reading reports submitted after the start of class will not be accepted for credit) 0 2. On-Line Discussion - This course will use Blackboard to satisfy the contact time for the course, along with the face-to-face Saturday sessions. The schedule is noted below on the Course Schedule. I will place instructions on Blackboard for how our on-line interaction will occur. Participation on-line is required and will be factored into the grade earned for course participation. As you prepare for the weeks we will be meeting

4 on-line, please keep the following in mind to organize your time and the work required: Log into Blackboard each Monday to make sure you know what is required for the week. As a rule, postings on the readings will be due Thursday of each week, with responses that further the discussion due by Saturday of each week by 6:00 p.m. Please plan accordingly. 3. Mid-Term Assignment: The mid-term assignment with specific instructions will be available February 5 and is due by Saturday, March 3 by 6:00 p.m. posted to Blackboard. The mid-term is designed to give you an opportunity to interact with and apply the course material on the foundations and sources of Christian ethics for the purpose of establishing normative frameworks for moral deliberation. The successful completion of the mid-term will depend on your understanding, familiarity and critical interaction with and use of the assigned reading material, the focus of lectures and class discussions from the first week of class through Week 7 in your responses to the questions. 4. Course Integration Assignment (Interpretive, Normative, Practical and Fundamental Tasks): This integrative assignment will provide an opportunity for you to identify and reflect on an experience in past or present in which you were/are presented with an opportunity for moral deliberation and ethical action related to practices of justice that bear witness to the kingdom of God. If you are not able to identify an issue from your context and experience, the instructor will provide you with a case study. You will have opportunity to work on this paper throughout the semester, integrating what you are learning about the interpretive, normative, practical, and fundamental tasks of Christian ethics with your own real life work in your case study. a. Part I: Interpretive Task (Due January 27 by 6:00 p.m. to Blackboard) - Write a 4-6 page paper on the situation on which you are reflecting, including the following: Describe the situation in as much detail as possible as well as the background and any events leading up to it. Name the significant persons (or groups) involved and any other pertinent facts. Identify the moral dimensions of the situation such as trigger events, conflicting moral claims and obligations, harms and goods at stake, moral perceptions, character failure and flaw b. Part II: Normative and Practical Tasks (Due March 24 by 6:00 p.m. to Blackboard) You are functioning as a moral guide and leader in this case study and will now begin a response to the situation you described in Part I. Revise the paper you submitted for the Interpretive Task, paying careful attention to the professor s comments. Expand your revised paper by adding another 4-6 pages (in one document) in which you: Describe and use the ethical resources available to you in understanding and responding to the situation from a biblical and theological standpoint. 4

5 Draw upon Scripture, theological frameworks, any pertinent historical and/or denominational resources and contemporary insights, and wisdom you have gleaned from the course readings to create a coherent moral framework. Please be explicit in using the sources of Christian ethics. Note: In this part of your case study you will be establishing the moral framework that will guide you in the decisions, responses, strategies, and proposals you will offer in the third part of your paper. 5 c. Part III: Fundamental Task (Final Integration Assignment Due April 28 by 6:00 p.m. to Blackboard) Revise Parts I and II. Expand your revised paper by adding another 2-3 pages for Part III which you: (If writing about a past experience) Analyze and evaluate your response to the situation. What did you learn from the experience? What might you do differently if you face a similar situation in the future? (If writing about a present challenge) Make an action plan for what you plan to do and what you expect or hope to happen. In either case, pay specific attention to Christian practices that are important in resolving the situation or developing virtues of Christian character and practices of justice pertinent for your case. How might the congregation (or other Christian body or faith community) implement practices that would be helpful to others in similar situations in the future that reflect the goodness and justice of God s kingdom? The Final Integration Assignment should be approximately pages, doubled spaced with one inch margins following the most recent edition of Kate Turabian s A Manual for Writers, with proper citation of the sources you have used in this case study. 5. Important Reminders: The abilities to organize workloads and schedules, to meet deadlines and fulfill commitments are important competencies and expectations for Christian leadership and ministry. Therefore, please keep in mind the following: It is expected and assumed that you will turn in assignments on the due dates listed in the syllabus. There is a 2-point deduction for each day an assignment is late. Assignments submitted more than one week late will not be accepted for earning credit. Late reading reports will not be accepted for credit. There will be no extensions or incompletes granted except in extenuating circumstances (such as a death in the family). D.

Recommendations for Lifelong Learning Theological reflection is an important part of Christian leadership and pastoral practice. Establish a regular reading schedule to keep engaged in theological reflection. Create a reading group and invite others to join you. Join a scholarly society, such as the American Academy of Religion or the Wesleyan Theological Society (both have reasonable student rates). VII. Seminary Guidelines A.
